Chapter 7: Brothers and Sisters Go Fishing Hunting
When he walked out of the house, it was a sunny day outside, and he left the noisy voice behind, and Du Yun's mood also improved a lot. Pen "Fun" Pavilion www.biquge.info
"Sister, what are we going to do?" Du Yin's small hand held Du Yun, and her voice was thin. She looked up at Du Yun, a pair of beautiful apricot eyes like Du Yun looked straight at her admired sister, and the air around her seemed to be sweet.
"Let's go out and breathe." Du Yun looked at her cute sister, it was a cute thing, she reached out and pinched her little face, well, the feel is not as good as she imagined, this little thing is too thin, you have to make up for it.
"Good!" Du Yin nodded with a smile, as if everything her sister said was right, and followed Du Yun obediently.
Du Yun stood in the yard, the rising sun was white, but it was not hot, the pear trees and peach trees planted in her front yard under the sun, as well as the vegetables and vegetables all over the yard, seemed to be shrouded in a faint veil of light.
Because the Du family has no money and no food, they only grow vegetables and do not raise livestock, so there is a refreshing smell of grass floating in the air, and the fresh feeling makes Du Yun can't help but take a deep breath and feel a lot better.
Du Yun took Du Yin's little hand and walked slowly, thinking about how to make a sum of money in a short period of time, so that he could have the confidence to withstand the Dong family's courtship.
It's just that I have no funds and no connections, so it's a problem to make a lot of money in a short period of time.
Unconsciously, Du Yun pulled her sister out of the gate of the yard, and what came straight into her eyes was a large piece of farmland, with tall sorghum stalks standing, and the green gauze tent covered this piece tightly.
Pregnant! Du Yun looked at the farmland, and his eyes lit up.
The place where I am located is called the Lotus River, the Lotus River knows that it is a river when I hear the name, and there are a lot of lotus flowers in it.
The water quality of the Lotus River Basin is good, and the rice grown must be very fragrant and soft, Du Yun thought that if he took advantage of the maturity of the rice to become a second-class dealer, sell the rice of the Lotus River to the city, and make a lot of money from it, it should be a proper way to make money.
The more Du Yun thought about it, the more feasible she felt, and she hurriedly pulled Du Yin along the path in the field, wanting to check the growth of rice, and walked straight for more than 100 meters to the Lotus River, but found that the crops planted on both sides of the path were either sorghum or bud rice.
Du Yun's brows were slightly furrowed, with doubts in his eyes, and he walked along the bank of the Lotus River for hundreds of meters, but he still didn't find even a small piece of rice field, this recognition made Du Yun's eyebrows completely wrinkled.
In Du Yun's conjecture, the Lotus River has such abundant water resources, it should be the main rice producing area, why did you walk along the river bank for a long time and didn't see a little shadow of rice?
Could it be that my own thinking is wrong, or is there no rice in this place at all? Du Yun's heart suddenly became sour, with a deep sense of disappointment and frustration.
Wrong! I have obviously seen rice at home, although it is only a glimpse, but the white and crystal rice grains are indeed rice. But why is there rice but not rice?
"Sister, sister, fish!" Before Du Yun could come up with a reason, Du Yin suddenly shouted in surprise, looking at a pit by the river with a pair of big dark eyes.
"Fish? Where? Du Yun has only eaten tasteless paste for so many days, and her mouth has long been too light, and she can foresee that in the next few months, she will have to eat meat-free meals, so even Du Yun, who is not too greedy, is instantly refreshed when she hears that there is fish.
I saw a small puddle by the sparkling river, perhaps because of the evaporation of the hot water in the hot weather, the puddle was cut off from the river next to it, but in the puddle the size of a cauldron, the shadow of a fish could be faintly seen.
"Great, there are fish." Du Yun suddenly came to his senses, and without saying a word, he pulled Du Yin and ran in the direction of the puddle, ran to the place, took off his shoes, pulled his trouser legs high, and walked barefoot into the puddle.
As a child growing up by the river, encountering a fish stranded in a puddle is like winning the lottery, although Du Yun has no such experience, but the experience and instinct in the memory of the original owner are still there, and when he reacts, the person is already standing in the puddle.
In the knee-deep water, you can faintly see a few black shadows, the big ones are feet long, and the small ones are also the size of palms, this situation makes Du Yun's eyes light up, although it is not a big fish, but it is enough for his own family to eat a good meal.
Du Yun took a deep breath, although he felt that it was a bit embarrassing for a person who had lived two lifetimes to still fish in the ditch, but he still resigned himself to his fate and began to build a mud dam by holding the river mud next to him with both hands according to the method in his memory.
The purpose of this mud dam is to completely isolate the puddle from the river water, so that some fish can escape by taking advantage of the fluctuation of the water level when they are looking for fish later. It's been a hard time for every family these days, if you escape a few small fish, but you'll lose a meal of meat.
Du Yun's movements were very fast, and she built the mud dam in three or two clicks, and she knew very well in her heart that if she didn't hurry up and fish fishing, she would be seen by others and come down to fish together, then it would be who grabbed it.
Du Yun has already started to do it here, and the little Du Yin was so anxious that he scratched his ears and cheeks and wanted to come down, but was stopped by Du Yun. Although the water in this puddle is not deep for herself, it is enough to reach Du Yin's waist, and it is too dangerous for such a big little girl.
"Sister, don't come down, hurry home and get the pot, and by the way, call the little brother and them over and let them help together." Du Yun assigned Du Yin a task, watched her run away on her feet, and lowered her head to concentrate on picking up the fish.
The sun is getting higher and higher, the temperature is also rising sharply, the sun is shining on the body, the sun makes people's eyes bloom, and they scream on the shore for their lives, which makes people panic, but Du Yun stood in the cool river with her legs, scooping out the water one by one, but she didn't feel the scorching heat.
The cool river water was a little muddy because of the fish, the sweat on Du Yun's forehead was dripping down, and his hands were already slightly sore, but he didn't mean to stop at all.
She worked hard to get the river water out of the puddle little by little, hoping to use her meager strength to improve the conditions of her family, even if it was just a small dish stewed with a few small fish.
The water in the puddle was slowly falling, and the fish that were not very distinct from the original look could now be seen clearly, one was a carp, and a few palms were crucian carp and grass carp, Du Yun saw such a change, and he was more motivated.
"Sister, sister...... Here we are! The laughter of the children came from afar, and I saw my second brother Du Bo pulling Du Yin, as well as the second uncle's daughter Du Qin, the third uncle's daughter Du Fang, and even the third uncle's son Du Tong came together.
The children copied a big copper basin and a small water scoop in their hands, and even more, there were also people who copied the dustpan, Du Yun couldn't help but want to complain when he saw it, the dustpan leaked water.
Almost instantly, these children rushed to the puddle, the children rolled up their arms and sleeves with great excitement, the eldest third uncle's eldest girl Du Fang was two years younger than Du Yun, this group of little children naturally listened to Du Yun's command, and even Du Tong, who was a little annoying on weekdays, was excited and actively obeyed the arrangement.
After a while, a few fish surfaced, and the brothers and sisters who had a lot of harvest hurriedly caught the fish into the basin, pressed it tightly with a dustpan, and carefully checked the puddle to make sure that nothing was missed, and then they were excited to go home with the fruits of victory.
As soon as he walked more than a dozen steps ashore, he saw a figure swaying along the river bank towards himself and others, Du Yun saw that person, and his originally excited red face was also gloomy.
